Valentine’s day is over for this year. My human bought a luv pug as her valentine present. I know, a stuffed dog in the house and it plays a song, how annoyingly cute.

The crotchety cougars and I are off on a vacation to Fiji. Soon the Cat Scouts will be going to Egypt and in March to Ireland for St. Patricks Day.

Today the human had to get a TDaP shot, this will last for 10 years. She hates getting shots. She is still waiting to get her mammogram scheduled. Because she didn’t have health insurance for 3 months she is way late on getting it done. She has lost 28 pounds since last May and her blood pressure is doing well on her medications.

It’s been too long since I last wrote. The human has been working so very hard with much longer hours than she expected so I have been lax in blogging. I am still active in Cat Scouts and pop over to the Crotchety Cougars page when I can.

The weather here has been very cold, with snow, ice and today, fog.

The human typist is still struggling with sinus drainage that won’t go away no matter what she does. Her back and ankles hurt and all she wants to do is sleep.

This week’s advent candle is Joy. A baby was born to one of our church family and her name is Joy. The big ceramic nativity set was back in church today, and people were glad to see it. On a funny side, one of the candles on the advent wreath wouldn’t light so there was a little fixing to do. All in all, it brought a little levity to our service. Next week is Christmas Eve so am wishing all Merry Christmas.

Just some random musings on a Friday. Today the human didn’t have to work so she went to the grocery store because we needed food. We are awaiting the arrival of my Hooligan in a can. You can also check out the Crotchety Cougars blog for more adventures.

The human’s old laptop has crashed and burned. It would cost more to fix than it is worth. So the human bought a new computer. She can pick it up on Tuesday after all the data from the old gets transferred. This was an expensive weekend for her and we really didn’t need this kind of hit to the checkbook.

On the upside, the human is losing weight and her blood pressure is down and she will have insurance come January.

The human typist is still in lots of pain and dizzy. She did have a massage yesterday which helped a little. Since she doesn’t have health insurance she got a bill for her last counseling session for 95.00. She has another session tomorrow and that will be another 95.00 which she doesn’t have the money for.

This month has been extra hard on her pocketbook without health insurance and food stamps.

She is no longer doing the mail room but only doing production which is really hard on her muscles. She has a hard time getting comfortable and sleeping.
